IMPROVEMENT IN COFFEE-POTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 179,359, dated June 27,1876; application filed May 1, 1876.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIS H. SHERWOOD, ofaco, McLennan county, Texas, have invented a new and Improved Oofi'eeand Tea Pot, of which the following is a specification:

The invention consists of a receiver for the decoction, fitted in thepot from the top, in the top of which receiver is a dripping-cup to holdthe coffee or tea, and through which and the receiver a tube extendsfrom the waterpot, up which the hot water is forced by the steam, anddischarged into the dripper to drip the coffee into the receiver, fromwhich it is drawn for use without passing into the waterpot. Thereceiver is provided with a gage to show the quantity in it, and thewater-pot has a safety-valve to let off the steam when the pressure istoo high, the said valve being fitted in the cap of the filling-tube.

Figure l is a sectional elevation of my improved coii'ee-pot, taken online a: 00, Fig.2; and Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on line y y,Fig. 1. v

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A s the water-pot,in which is a receiver, B, for the decoction,extending from the top of A nearly to the bottom. O is the drippingcup,with a perforated bottom, setting in the top of the receiver. D is thehot-water tube, passing up through" the receiver and the bottom of thedripper to discharge the water for dripping through the coffee. E is thefaucet for drawing off the coffee for use. F is a faucet for drawing hotwater. G is the safetyvalve in the cap of the filling-tube H to thewater-pot. I is the gage to the receiver, and J is the cover to thedripping-cup.

\Nith a pot of this construction the decoction will be free fromsediment, the strength of the coffee will be very largely obtained, andit affords hot water along with the decoction when required.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- The combination, with dripping-cup, of thewater-vessel A, provided with valved fillingtube H and a receiver, B D,having automatic gage I, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
